Mike Sawyer

From 1990-1992, Sawyer was part of the editorial collective behind the anti-war newspaper Free Association. Sawyer also contributed to the poetry zine Urge To Spit. At a young age, Sawyer began volunteering at Northern Sun News, a regional political newspaper that grew out of the anti-nuclear movement, becoming the NSN office manager while still in high school.

In the late-1990's, Sawyer published the bi-weekly poetry zine Bomb Threat Checklist, in which the editors challenged themselves to put out a new issue every other week.

In the year 2000, Sawyer released a benefit CD called: "Trees and Water: Songs of the Resistance to the Reroute of Highway 55."

He has served on the Board of Directors of Mississippi Market, a natural foods co-op.
